Introduction to Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a noninvasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. At Sage Medical Aesthetics in Los Angeles, we offer professional dermaplaning to leave your skin smoother, brighter, and ready to absorb skincare products more effectively. This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a quick, painless method to refresh their complexion.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface of the skin. This process enhances skin texture, leaving it smoother and more radiant immediately after the procedure. It is safe for most skin types and provides instant results, making it an ideal option for those seeking a quick, noninvasive treatment to refresh their complexion. Dermaplaning can be performed on its own or combined with other treatments for enhanced benefits. The procedure also helps skincare products absorb more effectively, boosting overall skin health.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?

During a dermaplaning session, a skilled professional carefully uses a specialized blade to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the outermost layer of the skin. This process encourages cell turnover, promoting the growth of healthy, new skin cells. The treatment typically lasts 30-45 minutes and is painless, with no downtime required afterward. By eliminating the build-up of dead skin, dermaplaning allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply, maximizing their effectiveness. The result is smoother, brighter skin that looks refreshed and feels soft to the touch.
